[CCoE Notice] PETR Seminar- Friday- Jan 26, 2018

[Grayson, Audrey A]

The Petroleum Engineering Department invites the College of Engineering to the Friday, January 26, 2018 Seminar at 11am in Engineering BLDG 2 room W-122.

SPE Techical Director: Hisham Saadawi



Abstract:

Over the past decade, multiphase pumping technology has increasingly become an acceptable alternative to conventional technologies. Indeed in many oil producing areas of the world, multiphase pumping is considered best practice.

The key concept in this presentation is to demonstrate that multiphase pumping is now considered a mature technology which offers numerous advantages in terms of HSE, operability, cost effectiveness, capital and operating costs as well as improved oil recovery.

This presentation gives an overview of state of the art multiphase pumping technology. Topics covered include: classification of multiphase pumps, the case for multiphase pumping, when not to use multiphase pumping, shop and field testing as well as project implementation issues. The presentation examines how multiphase pumping can be used for the development of both mature and new fields. The theme of the presentation will be illustrated by field examples.
